11 Press the Data 2 key. The LCD screen will read “MIN” and display the currently selected control (for exam-
ple “F10”), and the current value (for example “64”).
12 Type 0 using the number keys. This sets the “release” value to zero, and the sound will be panned “hard
left” when the button is released.
13 Press the Enter key.
14 Press the Edit button.
15 Press the Data 3 key. The LCD screen will read “MAX” and display the currently selected control (for ex-
ample “F10”), and the current value (for example “87”).
16 Type 127 using the number keys. This sets the “press” value to the maximum value, so that the sound is
panned hard right when the button is pressed.
17 Press the Enter key.
Assigning MMC Control to Buttons
The transport functions of some hardware recording devices and DAW applications can be controlled re-
motely via MMC (MIDI Machine Control) commands. MMC is a specialized transport control protocol that
requires a somewhat different configuration method.
The following values need to be specified:
To configure a button to send the MMC command “Play”:
1 Select an assignable button as described earlier.
2 Press the Edit button.
3 Press the Control Assign key. The LCD screen will read “ASIGN” and display the currently selected control
(for example “F10”), and the current MIDI CC assignment (for example “146”).
4 Type 149 using the number keys. This sets the button to send MMC (MIDI Machine Control).
5 Press the Enter key.
6 Press the Edit button.
7 Press the Channel Assign key. The LCD screen will read “CHAN” and display the currently selected control
(for example “F10”), and the current MIDI channel is it assigned to (for example “0”).
It can be useful to transmit two other specific values instead of sending minimum (zero) and maximum
(127) values as in the above example. When assigning a button to control Pan (MIDI CC 10), you can,
for example, configure Data 2 to send value 38, and Data 3 to send value 93, effectively causing pan to
switch between the approximate “ten o’clock” and “two o’clock” positions when pressing and releasing
the button.
